Alongside the snap, he wrote: “Everything’s cool.

“But wanna shout out the NHS, especially the paramedic and A&E team. We are truly blessed with all the hard work they do, they really don’t get enough credit. Thank you!”

However, Tyler didn’t reveal why he was actually at hospital or whether he had been injured.

The popular radio DJ was the seventh contestant to be announced to take part in this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

At the time he was announced as part of the line-up, he said: “I am SO gassed to be joining the Strictly family!

“As I started writing this I already got cramp. It’s going to be one crazy incredible journey which will no doubt be SO far outside my comfort zone.”

“It’s a show that means so much to me and my family and I can’t wait to seriously shake a leg on that shiny dance floor… with a side of sequins,” added the star.

His addition to the Strictly line-up for 2022 proved controversial with some fans of the BBC competition.

“I haven’t heard of him, but I don’t listen to Kiss FM. It’s always nice to see a variety of people who we get to know. I didn’t know Rhys [Stephenson] last year, but enjoyed watching him,” one fan tweeted.

“First celeb I don’t know but I look forward to getting to know him,” another said.

However, sadly other fans weren’t quite so excited.

“Who on earth is this? I have zero interest in watching this year,” one said on Instagram.

“I no longer recognise any of the new celebrities’ names. Not watching,” added a second.
